Thanks Scott and David - I'm going to check out the starter switch and
connections around it.  As part of this combination of jobs I also removed
the last vestages of the Eberspacher wiring harness, so I was in that area
and could have pulled something loose a bit.  I am not as worried about it
at the moment because the temp now is steady and correct.  I recently
checked the voltage stabilizer and it was ok, around 10.1 I think.  I tested
the fuel guage during this whole debacle but should have tested the temp
guage too.  I almost wish it would overheat so I could see if the fan kicks
in.
